Chapter 175
Xu Wenbin stood in the shed all the time, watching the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, and showing a gentle smile to the victims from time to time. Many victims whispered that a good official came, and the flood would definitely be overcome.

However, if you observe carefully, you will find that Xu Wenbin's standing position is cleverly four or five positions behind the victims.

After the doctor took the pulse of all the victims, according to different symptoms, he prescribed three doses of medicine, boiled three pots of medicinal juice, and asked the victims to hold bowls to hold the medicinal soup to drink.

Just at this moment, Ji Sibo came to look for Xu Wenbin.

"Master Xu, the shed area and porridge shed have been set up."

The victims who heard it from the side became excited and looked at Xu Wenbin.

Xu Wenbin smiled, "Master Gu, Lord Ji, let's go, let's go to the warehouse."

The three of them turned to the warehouse together, and opened the big locks of the warehouse one by one. Xu Wenbin said, "Take out ten bags of grain first, it's almost evening now, cook two bags of grain for the victims to make dinner, and the rest The eight bags will be reserved for tomorrow. When the prefects of Jiangxia Mansion and Mianyang Mansion come over, we will distribute the food tomorrow.”

Gucheng waved his hand on Monday, and the government officials went to carry ten bags of grain.

Xu Wenbin said again, "The doctor said that the medicinal materials are not enough, and you have to buy them in the surrounding prefectures with money. I think I will pay 3000 taels of silver to buy the medicinal materials first."

The judge next to him hurriedly wrote down in the account book: On the fifth day of September, Yong'an Mansion used three thousand silver to buy medicinal materials.

Xu Wenbin refused to leave any excuses for people to criticize, and every penny must be clearly recorded.

After opening the box and counting out 3000 taels of silver, Xu Wenbin looked at Ji Sibo, "Then please trouble Master Ji to buy medicinal materials."

Ji Sibo frowned slightly, "Master Xu, I was ordered to assist Master Xu to maintain the order of the disaster relief. I think it's better to let Master Tong take the soldiers to buy medicinal materials and come back."

Xu Wenbin shook his head in disapproval, "Master Ji's words are wrong. I think the victims of Yong'an Mansion will keep their own safety and will not have any accidents, but the general judge can't ride a horse. This will be a delay. What if you can't buy it in a prefectural city?" If you need to go to a few more prefectures for the medicinal materials needed, Mr. Ji will ride back and forth quickly. Besides, Mr. Ji went to help me buy the medicinal materials, which is also to assist me in disaster relief."

At this point, Ji Sibo could no longer refuse, nodded silently, and accepted the job.

After the food and silver were moved out of the warehouse, and the big locks were locked one by one, Ji Sibo took the list of medicinal materials and silver, and led ten members of the Ji clan to ride away from Yong'an Mansion in the rain.

After Zhuang Ping and Chu Ling came back, Xu Wenbin assigned them two other errands. He took Gu Chengzhou to the porridge shed and spooned porridge for the victims himself.

Ji Sibo took Ji Tong and the others to Anlu Mansion, and when they arrived, it happened to be when the city gate was closed.

There was a curfew at night, so Ji Sibo went straight to the inn to stay.

After dinner, Ji Sibo rang the No. [-] Tianzihao room, and after the door opened, he stepped in.

"Why did you come here?" Ji Fushou looked at him with raised eyebrows.

Ji Fushou fell far behind the disaster relief convoy. When the convoy went to Yong'an Mansion, she took Nighthawk to stay in Anlu Mansion. After all, now that Yong'an Mansion was hit by a disaster, no businessman would go there. It was too eye-catching for her to go there.

Ji Sibo poured himself a cup of tea, "Xu Wenbin sent me out to buy medicinal materials."

Ji Fushou sat opposite him and asked, "How is the situation in Yong'an Mansion?"

Ji Sibo shook his head slowly, "Very bad."

After repeating Gucheng Zhou's words, Ji Fushou also frowned.

"Yong'an Mansion is right on the edge of Lingshui. The dam of Lingshui was washed away, and the flood flooded towards Yong'an Mansion at once. According to the geographical location of the three mansions, Yong'an Mansion was the most severely affected. It is indeed possible."

She paused, and then said: "The flood has been raging for a day and a half, and most of the food soaked in the flood is inedible. The eight counties suffered from the flood, and there are two prefectures in Jiangxia and Mianyang. That idea There may not be enough food."

Ji Sibo nodded in agreement, but he was not very worried, "There is still 30 taels of disaster relief money, and there is not enough food. You can go to the nearby cities to buy it."

Ji Fushou thought it was the same. He had money, so he was not afraid that he would not be able to buy food. Then he asked Chu Lingjun, "He came to control the water, but it is still raining now, so he can only stay in the city first." .”

Ji Sibo replied: "He was also assigned an errand by Xu Wenbin, and so was Zhuang Ping. Xu Wenbin always took Mr. Gu to wander in front of the victims."

After thinking about it, Ji Fushou understood, "He wants to be popular. If the disaster relief is successful, with this credit, there may not be no hope for Zhongshuling, Shangshuling, or servants in the future."

She looked at Ji Sibo, and said lightly: "You and Chu Ling are smarter, don't get in the way of Xu Wenbin's eyes, he is Yushi Zuo Zhongcheng after all, he will give him the popularity he wants, anyway, as long as he can successfully relieve the disaster, You also have credit."

It's just the size of the credit.

Ji Sibo suddenly realized, no wonder Xu Wenbin always dismissed him, and he didn't even think about making a name for himself, as long as he did his own thing well and could contribute to disaster relief.

He remembered another matter, and asked: "Auntie, have you found out the inside story of Youmi?"

Ji Fushou paused, got up and took a bamboo tube, "Uncle Su came back from the message this evening, and I haven't read it by chance."

She opened the bamboo tube, poured out the small note inside, and frowned when she saw the contents clearly.

She handed the note to Ji Sibo, Ji Sibo took a look, and said in surprise: "The warehouse official in Guangtong warehouse is actually a cousin of the wife of the Minister of the Household Department?"

When he read it again, he was even more surprised, "Why did Uncle Su write on it that the warehouse official has a concubine?"

Ji Fushou explained: "Sibo, do you know the origin of Gan Qiwen, Minister of the Household Department?"

Ji Sibo nodded, "I know, he came from a poor family."

He is from a poor family, and now he is the secretary of the household department. He can be called a new rich man from a poor family. As long as someone in his family can become a third-rank official before he begs for his bones, and he does not make mistakes or stand on the wrong team, the Gan family can at least prosper 30 years.

Ji Fushou raised the corners of his lips, "Then you must know that Gan Qiwen won't let the bad things go down."

Ji Sibo nodded again, "Everyone in the capital knows about this. After Gan Qiwen jumped into the dragon's gate, he didn't dislike his wife, who was also a village girl. He still respected his wife. Many people praised him for his deep love and righteousness."

Ji Fushou sneered, disdainful of Gan Qiwen, "When a man didn't dislike having a wife after he rose to the top, did he have deep affection? Really affectionate, would marry five concubines, and give birth to eight concubines, Twelve concubines come out?"

Ji Sibon dared not speak.

Then Ji Fushou said again, "Since Gan Qiwen's wife is also from a poor family, isn't her cousin still a rich family? If he is really a rich family, does he need to be an eighth-rank warehouse official? You must know that a warehouse official has a yearly salary. Salary, converted into silver, is only 15 taels of silver."

Ji Sibo was stunned, "It's 15 taels of silver a year, and there is a concubine?"
